in thinking all women should be able to blow their own glass baubles, ffs its a basic life skill

I thought "blow your own glass baubles " was just a handy insult to have up your sleeve

...

Sorry, busy

look at chicken, living the dream!

at chickens

YANBU.

And women who don't make jam should not be allowed to bear children, quite frankly.

Not only should they be able to blow their own glass baubles, they should also be able to juggle them all at the same time without dropping any

Cranky, does fudge count? I've never had much success with jam.

I have woven all my own co-ordinating wrapping paper from thread spun out of last years shredded advent calendars though

chickens, I do hope you are going to cross stitch the name tags on them....from relclaimed organic undyed fairtraded yarn?

Naturally, purpleduck, is there any other way?

I plan to bake myself a friend later.

Frankly, I just don't understand these people who haven't aquired these vital life skills

Does knitting with glass fibre count?

you Bad Bad lot!

Yesterday I made the bread baps that encased the homemade burgers that my DCs refused ate for supper. Now that truly is a life skill.

I basked in my own snugness for some considerable time, until DD pointed out that I hadn't made the ketchup.

I know Chickens, how very limiting!

Well, Poppity, you'd get short shrift if you showed up at the Jam Stall at your local fete brandishing fudge, but I suppose it will do.
(Assuming you've used unrefined, fairtrade, organic sugar)

I know, how do people get through the day without a least welding their own doorknocker?

Oh of course! Along with soy milk and 157% cacao

wow I thought I was good for building my own washing machine out of the dcs old scooters and a few elastic bands but handmade rosemary? You're my hero Poppity!

Oh how lovely to be amongst like-minded souls!

I'm just taking a tea break whilst crafting tree decorations - I have collected the fine blonde hair shed by my daughters all year and am spinning it on my centuries old passed-down-in-the-family loom, then fashioning beautiful angels. Truly stunning. I do hope the family all like them as they will be their gifts.

Helpful hint: never buy a shorthaired dog. Its a bugger spinning their shed fur prior to knitting it.

Gorionine, once you can crochet it's a breeze. I could crochet before I could walk of course
